Taking the Mystery Out of Credit Scores


Taking the Mystery Out of Credit Scores


     Were you recently denied approval on a loan application?  Do you suffer from lower Credit Scores?  Did you receive an Interest Rate higher than someone else with higher Credit Scores?  

     If so, there's a chance one of the following issues was the reason.  They're some of the most commonly seen issues affecting Credit Scores or preventing loan approvals:


  • Missed Payment(s) on a Mortgage, Installment Loan, or Credit Card(s)
  • Major Events - A Bankruptcy filed in the last 2 years, Foreclosure, Short Sale, or Deed-in-Lieu of Foreclosure
  • Outstanding Judgments, Tax Liens, or Collections (Not Paid, or Not Satisfied) 
  • Multiple late payments on accounts, multiple number of disputed accounts, multiple number of recently opened accounts, multiple number of accounts with higher balances related to the Credit Limit.
